HEY! Leave Peta out of it. She's just an actress!
Oh, you mean that PETA....
There is a book in Barnes and Nobles, who has fairly decent coffee.... Even though I know Juise will totally disagree... HEEHEEE... Anyway, this book is called something like "Grow everything on 1 acre". Well, anyway, this book is about taking your measly 1 acre of land, and using it to grow all the produce you would need for the year. Also I believe it has a bit on raising chickens and using said chickens for bug control AND tilling. LOL. Since they will dig the crap out of your veggie beds big time, which turns the soil and compost for you at the end of the season, and the beginning too. You let them in before planting, and you will have NO weeds left that had started growing. Yup... I have no weeds in my planting box out front right now!
